[edit] About the Heavens
As its name suggests, the Heavens are the realm where the gods reside, and the destination for the souls of those who have died as morally righteous beings. Nothing is known about this mysterious realm, except that it is one of the two realms that is infinite in space, the other one being its popular opposite, the Netherrealm. It is an amalgamation of the East Asian and Christian concepts of Heaven.
[edit] Native species
Though questionable as it may be, the Gods are considered to originate from the Heavens. The Elder Gods' place of origin appears to be the universe itself, however.
[edit] Notable residents
- Raiden: God of Thunder, and a former Elder God
- Fujin: God of Wind
- Chijin/Ohona: Elemental God of Earth
- Suijin/Kumari: Elemental God of Water
- Kajin/Hinoka: Elemental God of Fire
- Shinnok: A fallen Elder God
In the Mortal Kombat: Conquest TV series, Shao Kahn fooled a large group of people called the Shaakans into believing that he is their god - every aspect of their culture reflects this foolish worship of the Emperor.
[edit] Relationships with other realms
Obviously, the Heaven's biggest threat comes from the Netherrealm, its polar opposite. While it doesn't get mentioned much in the games, there are hints that it seems to be in neutral relationship with other Realms. As it is considered paradise by denizens of Earthrealm, its citizens look upon it with favor.
